Learn about the UK’s first ever exhibition on Marie Antoinette through its curator, Dr. Sarah Grant, Senior Curator of Prints in the Department of Art, Architecture, Photography & Design at the Victoria & Albert Museum. This exhibition will explore the origins and countless revivals of the style shaped by the most fashionable queen in history. A fashion icon in her own time, the dress and interiors modelled and adopted by the ill-fated queen of France in the final decades of the eighteenth century have had a lasting influence on over 250 years of design, fashion, film and decorative arts. The exhibition, Marie Antoinette Style (September 20, 2025 — March 22, 2026), will bring together a range of exquisite objects belonging to Marie Antoinette, alongside the most beautiful fine and decorative objects that her legacy has inspired, to explore how and why Marie Antoinette has provided a constant source of inspiration.
